Ratarsed

Why the Name?

Mostly stems from a certain puppet, mixed with a liberal dose of real ale and a splash of Uberworld (a PG-Plus talker).

Some articles I created

Some articles I plan to create, and references to use

• Archeology of Ipswich or breaking History of Ipswich out into an article of its own from Ipswich#History -- There's the Time Team#Series 11 dig, the recent works in Holywells Park, Ipswich and I dare say much more asides
• User:Ratarsed/Architecture of Ipswich possibly as a separate article, or just as a section on Ipswich.
• DanceEast -- About DanceEast from their website
• Geography of the United Kingdom 2001 Census -- Census Geography form the ONS Geography for the 2001 Census in England and Wales by Professor David Martin of the University of Southampton and Prof. Martin's GIS Research

Interests
